The Terrace

Location

First offsite parking is 20 euro a day not the stated 15. It a hike down and worse back up from where shuttle stops. If you can’t do 40 steep steps to the so called Terrace Apt. it really is an attic with a hot plate. Doors are dwarf size. Open the apartment door and you look right at the bathroom and more steps. Night time trips to the bath are dangerous. The shower is the smallest ever ever ever. Less than 24”x24”. Woman don’t plan to shave your legs the entire stay. You can barely move especially since door will not stay closed so use your butt to push on it during the shower because you need every inch possible. Kitchen is the most ridiculous ever. No stove/oven just a hot plate and a microwave. Utensils are worthless. We bought some bread from a farmer market but had only a butter knives to cut it. So we ripped pieces off to eat. WiFi is super slow. Bedroom is just a bed in a room No closet or European built in. No window just a pass through and a door to the next room with two beds no closet and the ceiling is very low. Leading to the balcony/terrace the door is about 5’6” and hit my head multiple times and I’m 5’11”. Really look hard at the provided pictures and I mean hard. If you don’t believe me than good luck but I’m in the vacation rental business and could never provide this type of place or I would have been out of business 30 years ago.

Details from the owner were great and we found the entrance relatively easily. The location was great, we arrived on foot, but perfect for the train station too. The apartment was a little tired compared to the photos, but all clean and comfortable. The outside terrace was great for sitting out at and having somewhere to dry off some clothes.

The bathroom shower was the smallest cubicle I’ve ever seen and the door wouldn’t shut fully which made it even worse. Thankfully my partner and I are slim, but could be a struggle for some.

Clean and easy to maintain. Close to the centre.

The owner was fantastic. Helped us check in and check out. Explained things clearly. Location was great in the heart of town. Cute village.

i thought the apartment was bigger (from the photos), is more like 2 rooms (with a door between) but with a curtain in a kind of open wall (not sure why the door was needed). So it was less private than i had hoped.

A charming apartment in a fantastic location - the private terrace was a wonderful bonus.

Breakfast on the terrace as we watched the street bustle is a memory we will cherish, a sea swim 2 minutes walk away and all in beautiful Vernazza…. Heaven!!!

Location! The location was absolutely amazing. So close to the train station and in the centre of the action. Having a coffee on the balcony and listening to the birds and looking at the architecture was also a highlight.

I would have loved an umbrella for the deck to make more use of time out there.

What's not to love about a quirky apartment with two gelato places right outside? The host was helpful allowing us to enter a tiny bit early since we had luggage and wanted to drop off before wandering around Vernazza. The spot is quite close to the Vernazza train station and immediately across from a luggage storage business which we used the following morning. It worked well for our family of 4 adults since it had a queen bed and two twins in an adjoining room (but with an open large window/wall between the two). There was a small refrigerator and kitchenette. We enjoyed the patio especially at night and in the morning. There was AC in the apartment. I loved watching the older Italian neighbors hang their laundry on their patios in the morning and open their windows to peek below and watch the village begin to wake and become busy.

Oh my goodness, what a climb. I suspect that is the case with any place in the area but hauling our luggage up the many flights of narrow stairs was a feat. This spot is on the top floor which means a lot of climbing, but that also means good views. The door to the apartment opens to the bathroom and one more small flight of stairs. The bathroom is extremely small and the shower was the tiniest we've experienced in our travels but it worked just fine.

Location was great, right in the middle of everything & so near train station, restaurants, grocery/mart, simply everything. Stairs to unit quite steep but normal in the area, & can be an another adventure to conquer. Really great place!

Bed was too soft but other than that, place was great

- The location was incredible (in the heart of the Vernazza and a couple minutes walk to the train station, but surprisingly quiet). - The apartment was very spacious and comfortable (could easily fit up to four people). - We really enjoyed the large terrace space which gave us an amazing view of the city which was absolutely beautiful. - Very comfortable bed. - AC was a big plus and kept us very comfortable throughout our stay.

- The 4-5 flights of stairs leading up to the apartment were pretty steep and slick. As a young physically fit couple, we even had trouble lugging our bags up and down the stairs. - The hot water in the shower went out a couple of times which obviously wasn't ideal. - Check-in was pretty difficult upon arrival, the cleaning staff was still in the apartment and the property manager was only available to speak over the phone and there was a clear language barrier to overcome.
